Basically it hooks up to your home network and wirelessly transmits music that is either on your network, or hooked up to an auxuliary input, to however many ports you want through the house. Speakers attach directly to the ports and the wireless controller controls the ports, individually. Different rooms can play different things and volume is independant as each port is an amplifier.

I looked into all of the whole house music things (I liked the Bang's the most and then Speakercraft), but I didnt want to dump $10k into a two room system that would also require ceiling repairs all over my house. I also didnt want to have any components stacked anywhere. And I didnt want to have to leave the system there if I move at some point.

This one will functionally do everything I want because the laptop (or if I want I can put a hard drive onto my wireless router) takes the place of all of the components, and the sat radio will plug right into the port that will be in my kitchen perfectly. It will not require any install and I can expand it easily at will by ordering additional ports (which wirelessly communicate together with ONE port communicating with your network).

Freaking cool if you ask me. Prob arrive next week.

Probably going to be about $2k after duty and stuff for two rooms before speakers. Each additional room will be about $600.

That does sound cool.... somewhat expensive but cool.

I put giant speakers in my living room, if I want to hear it in another room I crank the volume

i heard the wireless tends to get drop signal every now and then with other frequencies interfering, but other than that, one kick ass system

when's the unveiling party ?

what's your opinion of B&W?

PLYRS 3

btw, the craftsmanship on the B&W's seem really good....they match the grains on left and right, good edges, stain matches, etc....

If you don't know the difference but sound good who cares what he thinks?

I bought paradigms because I liked the sound of them.

PLYRS 3

i know, and that's the thing....my friend's paradigms sound awesome (to me) as well....

it would suck to drop $3K on speakers and find out later that you misssed out on a technical advantage from one to the other....
